but both punctures and Striae are almost everywhere concealed. 

 The abdominal punctures are the only ones that are clearly defined. 

 The type is in the Macleay Museum.

 dark brown. 



Head with coarse concealed punctures ; eyes coarsely faceted. 

 Rostrum shorter than prothorax, feebly curved, sides incurved to 

 middle, punctures concealed (except at apex) but evidently coarse, 

 and behind the antennae subseriately arranged. Scape the length 

 of four basal joints of funicle, inserted slightly nearer base than 

 apex ; first Joint of funicle longer and stouter than second. Pro- 

 thorax transverse, base slightly bisinuate ; with rather large but 

 almost concealed punctures. Elytra ovate , as deep as wide, 

 Shoulders not projecting and no wider than prothorax, widest at 

 about middle; seriate punctate , punctures large, round, regulär 

 and very slightly obscured by scales. Legs not very long , fe-

 Shoulders. Pectoral canal deep and moderately wide, termination
